Phil Pfeifer owns a business refurbishing Army Surplus calculators. He has a contract to buy the calculators from government sources and could purchase up to 4,230 a month. His bid of $5.83 per calculator had won the contract to purchase the surplus calculators. He invested $35,900 in an automated engraving machine and started selling personalized calculators through a network of army surplus stores and VFW posts. Pricing was a problem, however. First he had to consider that, on average, his resellers charged 5% margins and were content to sell at his recommended retail prices as long as they received their margins. Second, he thought it cost him $1.13 in labor and materials to engrave customized messages. For several months he sold an average of 1,090 calculators per month at a retail selling price of $34 per customized calculator. His wife suggested he could watch more lacrosse if he charged higher prices and sold fewer calculators. Phil raised the price to $41 and saw the number of calculators sold drop to 763. How much total dollar contribution to fixed cost (aka gross margin) did Phil make selling calculators at his original price in a month?
